By the number of vitamins pepper is the leader among all the vegetables. Grow this culture I could not for a long time. It would be desirable that the fruits were large and juicy as in the markets.
I had to experiment a lot, to fill the cones and gain their own experience. them I'm with you and share.
Unusual way of sowing pepper
To what gardeners creative people! A neighbor shared with me the experience of planting the seed with boiling water. I decided to try this method.
Done cups of normal substrate under a laminate, pour into a fertile land, and put on a sunflower seed. Very soon (in exactly one week) appeared rostochku. When my Rastishka grown up, some of them moved to bigger cups, others just in diapers, and so grew up Bedding. For more information about this method of sowing pepper you can read here.
I do not plant early
May - the most lively month for gardeners, but he often surprises in the form of night frosts. Pepper - the plant south, and sub-zero temperatures is simply not survive. Therefore, even in the greenhouse I put it only after May 15th.
Strong stocky seedlings develop quickly. The main thing is that the distance between the bushes was wide enough. Each plant is trying to pick up more of the sun and the power of the soil.
What is necessary for a good crop of pepper
I try to brush did not shade each other. Also, do not plant the peppers on heavy soil. A bed each fall fertilize with organic, add your "magic" compost. Their experiences and uncomplicated secrets of how to make a very useful and fast compost, I shared with you here.
A native of the tropics likes moist soil and air. I realized that if there is insufficient watering, then it leads to stunted growth and bush fruits of small size are obtained. To the moisture retained in the soil for as long as possible, I always mulch the beds with peppers thick layer of grass clippings.
Good harvests began to receive when tested a method of removing all unwanted shoots on the trunk after branching.
At first it was a pity to break off - from plants remained almost one crown. But a few bushes left "curly". As a result, the main trunk "shaved" bushes ovaries was higher, and the fruit grew larger than branched.
Now I stick to this method, and crop the extra sprigs twice over the summer.
